dont think for a minute that fees are not added in eveyday.
everytime you buy something its already added in. its just hidden. you have no reason posting in other peoples thread about them charging paypal fees. get a flucking life.
let me guess you have never broken or bent any rules before? oh wait you already did by trolling ads in the for sale section and posting the above mentioned.
please do not buy anything from this site. you will be more of a hassle than anything![The Patriot !!](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_patriot.gif)

If it pisses you off that much then hey.. send a money order/cashiers check. 99% of the sellers on here will accept them, and your bank shouldn't charge you for them either (at least mine doesn't).
Most of the time I will offer to cover the PP fees, because in the end, I'm still getting the part for far less than sticker price. A couple of extra bucks isn't going to break the bank.

I use shipping and paypal fees as a negotiating tool. people will always give you a low ball offer. I do not blame them I do it too. but if I state paypal fees and shipping not included then they will realize they are getting an extra 3% off by not getting charged the paypal fees. Plenty of buyers realize this and all have the choice by not buying an item. But please skip any of my classified ads becouse I will not sell anything to you anyway.

Try paying 3% on a $5,000 set of wheels and tires. That is $150 just to use paypal? Screw that. I disagree with paypal's policy, they really shouldn't even give a **** who pays the fee since they get the money either way. Whether the seller or buyer pays the fee, they still get their damn 3%.
If you don't like the terms of a sale, MOVE ON. That is your choice. People still sell a shitload of parts here, even when they pass the 3% paypal fee to the buyer. So, people are still willing to buy at that agreement. This is a deal between buyer and seller, paypal shouldn't be involved at all.

As a power seller on Ebay I also include a Handling fee in my auctions based on the total amount that I expect the auction to reach to cover the Paypal fee's.
Once you add up listing fee's, Final value fee's, Paypal fee's ect,ect..
Depending on how much or how little the actual amount of money is sometimes you end up with so little it isnt even worth the time and effort..
If I sold something to some one on here and the buyer wanted to use Paypal I would do the same thing but I would let the buyer know a head of time howmuch and why I was requesting additional money..
If they don't like it then they can always spend 50 cents to mail the payment..

It really boils down to if you don't like it than use a different form of payment, its that easy. I just prefer to take the hit and use paypal since its so much easier and faster.
